Gmail/Gnus and Spam/Trash groups

Gmail/Gnus and Spam/Trash groups

[Tom Rauchenwald]

Hi list,

I'm using gmail with gnus at the moment.
Everything works fine so far, but some groups are not shown, i.e. the
special [Gmail] groups.
For instance, to delete a message, you should move it to [Gmail]/Trash. 
See here

for more.
My problem is that i can not subscribe to these groups, for instance to
check the spam group for false positives.

Any ideas?

Tom

I was able to subscribe to them using S s from the Group buffer and then
filling in their names.  I haven't looked into why they don't show up
automatically.  My random guess is some regexp somewhere doesn't like
the brackets in the names :)

Thanks, that worked (sort of). It only worked for me when I moved a mail
there previously in this session. 
Anyway, thank you, now I can read my spam \o/
